Hello the kitchen! Thought I would poke my nose in before we lose this kitchen and I have to set the sat nav for another! A lovely smiley little chap, young Otis, Maw. We had one of those donut things for GS - he loved it.
Soop I hope you and MacS are now properly settled after your travels to the hospital and your adventure in the loo which sounded quite surreal!?
Ann I am another who loves calves liver. Glad you are enjoying some nice outings.
Corner we beat you to it with the plumber I’m afraid, but I do hope yours comes soon. Ours called yesterday afternoon, out of the blue, on his way home from another job, to mend the leak under the sink and service the boiler. Problem was, I couldn’t find the cheque book to pay him, so we had to raid the piggy bank GS keeps here (fortunately, he’s loaded?)!!! I later found the cheque book in a handbag I only ever use once in a blue moon - and we now owe GS sixty quid!
I was going to make some sloe gin today, but one of my kilner jars has been used for pickling and the seal reeks of onion vinegar. I ordered some from the internet and they were returned to the sender as apparently the Post Office “damaged” them in transit!! I can’t get my head round this. How can you damage two thick rubber seals, presumably packed in a Jiffy bag, unless you let a dog chew it? As it appears they were the last of the sender’s stock, I now have to find some more. I have rung around a few places that are supposed to stock them and they no longer stock them, though they do stock the jars. Curiouser and curiouser, as they say. John Lewis may be my last hope. Either that or we will have pickled onion flavoured sloe gin?!
Thinking of all who are poorly or weighed down with trouble today. I have just seen a picture of the weather in Japan. We should fall on our knees, people!
